Railroads Furnished Passes
For Men Who Shot Up the
Miners' Cabins.
WOMEN TELL OF
BRUTAL GUARDS
CHARLESTON, W. Va, June 14.
C. D. Honaker, a, conductor on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
was today's first witness before the
United States senate mine probe com
mittee. He said that prior to April SO,
1913, mine guards in Cabin Creek rode
on trains bjr virtue of passes. He gave
the committee the names of a number
of guards and the numbers of the ,'
passes tney carried. Tnese gnaras, ne
said, were all armed. Mr. Honaker said
his train had been stoned three times
during the strike.
Former governor Glasscock was re-1
called to the stand for cross examina
tion and said the first trouble occurred
at the Boomer mine.
A lengthy correspondence between
the governor and the operators on the
question of arbitration was placed in
the record. After his first proposal
was refused by the operators. Mr. 1
Glasscock framed a new proposition.
which he believed eliminated the ques
tion of the union. This second pro
posal, he said, was likewise rejected by
the operators, although accepted by
the miners.
OwaemMa of Property.
Senator Kenyon took up the question
of ownershii. at lands An Paint ajMl
Cabin Creeks. !
"On Paint Creek." said Mr. Glass- I
cock, "I have understood that outside
men were heavy stockholders. The
Cabin Creek mines, however, are owned
bj West Virginia interests.''
The witness named Judge Christian,
of Virginia, former representative Con
nell. of Scranton, Pa., and John H.
Jones, of Pittsburg, as some of the out
siders who owned land in the creek.
Under cross examination by attorneys
for the mi nt re, Mr. Glasscock told of
calling a ' state wide peace conference,"
which assembled at the state house, -and
which v. as attended by some 400 or 500
' representative citizens" from all over
the state The object of the meeting
was to discuss means of preventing and
settling labor disputes.

V as the attitude of the representa
tive operators friendly toward that
meeting'' asked Mr. Belcher.
1 thouprht decidedly otherwise," said
il Glasscock.
He said that a resolution presented
by an attorney for the operators, out
lining the terms on which they would
participate in the conference, precipi
tin ea an acrimonious aeoate.
"The, mmrtjnr lima hsolni umT 'imn
said, 'much to my mortification and
UlSRUgl.
When Mr. Glasscock was examined.
the miners' attorneys began to call the
women of the strike region.
W. A. Abbott, a delivery wagon
driver for an "outside store" in the
strike zone, said that mine guards pre
vented him from delivering supplies.
Skjot HI Irfek MT.
J H. Pike, of HoUy Grove, said that
mine guards shot the lock off his door.
He described the shooting op of Holly
Grove from the armored train. The
fain was dark, he said, but he could
bee the flashes- of guns on the train.
What did you do when the' bullets
bepan to fly?" asked senator Kenyon.
' Just stood and looked at them." said
int miner.

Governor JuMtttfen Aet.
After hearing from former governor
Glasscock his explanation of the condi
tions under which the Paint Creek and
Lahin rTTAAlr m'Hlnv Mmlm ..wa
placed under tbe domination of military
rule, the investigaUng committee hur- I
neu ils investigations aionc last nitrht
The testimony of governor Glflsu-ocl-
and the civil officials of Kanawha
county, in power during the strike, con
cluded the record under the head of
the "arrest and conviction of citizens
contrary to the laws and constitution."
Senator Kenyon's branch of the in
quiry, as to general conditions and
causes leading up to the strike, is all
that was left today to be taken up in
Charleston. The committee decided to
leae the matter of violations of Imrai
giation laws to be taken up in Wash
ington. CobiMmHob to Control.
The big question as to agreements
and combinations "contrary to the laws
of the United States." for the purpose
of controllng the production of West
Virginia coaL will not b inveatia-atMl
by the committee at this time, it was
aeciuto, owing to tne lact that officials
o' the United' Mine Workers have been
indiend on this charge, under the Sher
man anti-trust law in the federal
courts.
In no uncertain terms governor
Gla.sscock and the civil authorities of
Kanawha county defended the declara
tion of martial law in the strike zone.
"There was a reign of terror in the
strike district." said the former govern
or "Twenty-five or SO murders had
been committed and no prosecutions
had been held in the courts. I consid
ered that martial law was an absolute
necessity."
Mine Gmfos Mainly ttt Pa alt.
Senator Borah ascertained that the
governor believed "that the mine
guards" in the strike district, mostly
employes of the Baldwin-Feltz Detec
tive agency, were the main cause of the
trouble, and that one of the principal
reasons for his declaring martial law
in the first instance was his desire to
rid the district of the mine guards. Af
ter the guards had been driven out, no
said, the question of unionising the
field became acute and the trouble
again broke out.
"I considered that a state of war ex
isted on Paint and Cabin creeks." the
goernor said, "and I considered that
under tbe martial law regime the will
of the comma nderinchief, myself, was
supreme in the affected territory. T
regarded the proceedings by the mill-
jtarv commission as strictly in accord

cedure of printing a public document,
and turning to senator Overman, re
ferred to a previous conversation about
the incident and added:
I told you then somebody had been
monkeying with Virders here and I
still think so.
Wold could not throw much light J
on the situation and other senate em
ployes may be called.
When F. R. Hathaway, of the Michi

stand, hostilities broke out between
senator Keed and senator Nelson. Reed

In Olden Days
Cleveland Square Was a Cemetery
P
DNCE DE LEOK (the rancher not
the explorer) had his ranch
house on the site of the big 12
story Anson Mills building when El
Paso was a goat ranch.
The river ran down Mills street in
the days before Park Pitman was
county clerk, which was long time ago.
Mundy brothers, J. J. and H. M.,
traded six bare legged sheep for
Mundy Heights, and were afraid for
years that they had been the goat in
the deal. Now lots sell there for $2,000
each.
Carnegie square was a public bury
ing ground and Cleveland square was
a military cemetery, when Fort Bliss
was located in the pass.

NEW YORK, June 14. Bridgie
Webber, one of, the principal
witnesses in the Rosenthal ease.
was stabbed in the back on an East Side
gtmar Oatrlv fhic mirniiwr
. Weblter described himself as Lewis
Harris a broker. 15 vr old.
It was said at the hospital thi morn-
ing that the man was in a serious eondi-
tion.
Shortly after the conviction of Lieut.
Becker and the four eunmen for the
j murder of Hermann Rosenthal, the gam-
bier, there were many rumors of plots
against the witnesses.
Webber admitted his identity before
he lost consciousness, but so far as the
stabbing was concerned all he would say
was that his assailant was some un
known boy and that was all."
The stabbing occurred just after Web
ber kept an appointment with Sam Paul,
ader of the Sam Paul ssociation,
after the Rosenthal murder. It was at
an outing of the association, according
to stories then printed, that there was
talk to the effect that Rosenthal would
be "croaked." because be had "squealed''
on police lieutenant Becker as a gambler
protector and graft collector.
Sam Paul recently bought the Cafe
Continental, a little coffee and cake
house, at 108 Second avenue, near Sev
enth street, and it is said that Webber
was stabbed almost in front of this little
restaurant, after keeping- an engagement
with Paul.
